Abstract: On March 25, 2022, one specimen of the Sohal surgeonfish Acanthurus sohal and one of the Violet-eyed swimming crab Carupa tenuipes were collected for the first time off the north coastline of Egypt and Libya, respectively. The native range of both species includes the Red Sea, and here, they are reported for the first time from the southern Mediterranean Sea. The second record of the Lessepsian migrant Pteragogus trispilus from Libyan waters, also caught on March 25, 2022, is furthermore included.
